LeBron has to be on PEDs. Brady’s longevity could be reconciled given the physical demands for a pocket passing QB. Nothing about being a top 5 NBA player at age 40 makes any sense.

LeBron is legitimately better than everyone in the NBA except Jokic, Giannis, healthy Luka, SGA, and maybe Tatum. Heck if I absolutely had to pick one player in a game 7 to save my life, I’d maybe take him over everyone but Jokic.

This month he’s averaging 29/9/8 on 55% shooting. Last month he averaged 25/7/9 on 55% shooting.

The kicker, though, is that for many weeks now, he’s also playing exceptional defense. He’s a two-way force at 40 years old owning teams in crunch time night after night while everyone else on his team is exhausted. Hes not sitting games out. And he’s inexplicably getting better and better as the season goes on.

Even if you argue his offensive production is his IQ more than being a physical specimen, you cannot play high-level defense night after night against lightning quick scoring guards in the prime of their athletic lives if youre 40 years old with the most minutes in NBA history under your belt. It’s not possible, it can’t be.

…unless…
